It defies all logic of concept. It's not a restaurant, but it is. It's not a grocery store, but is.... It's not a liquor store, but... It's such an interesting evolution of business man. You could never just start something like this. It's just been percolating for a good while and just evolving along the way. They now are in the whole building they lease as the concept has grown. I love to see a family business evolve and grow! It's call Derk's Filet and Vine. I was thinking steakhouse when I heard we were going here. It is a butcher shop (slash) wine and beer store (slash) grocery store (slash) caterer (slash) that happens to also sell a wildly popular Meat and Three Caferteria Style lunch that lines up people sometimes in the hundreds. Insanity. My reasons for being here are even more insane to be honest. Nonetheless, I am so glad to have had the opportunity to see this place while I am still alive. The folks working here are fantastic! Super helpful and friendly. I dig some AL hospitality! I had never been to Montgomery before. My lunch was too freaking notch!! Yum. Yum! I'll be back. It's in the stars. Written well before you or I were around or awake to realize. Can't wait to eat some fried chicken next time!! '26 - 33

Wow "limited menu" may seem discouraging, what is on that limited menu is absolutely amazing. We've eaten here several times and, sad to say I'm in a rut, because I've had the burger each time. Half pound of lean ground beef, grilled to perfection - served with lettuce, tomato, and red onion on a toasted brioche bun. Also comes with a side of really crispy fries. My dining companion had the "Chicken Chaser" ... a "lighter chicken dish of grilled chicken breasts sauteed with white wine, mushrooms, and tomatoes." Oh my! Nothing light about this dish in terms of quantity of the calorie might be low. Absolutely delightful sautéed chicken breast. This was served with two sides. Check my photo of the current menu for additional entrée items or sandwiches as well as a list of the canned beers they have on hand Prices are very reasonable and for us, - traveling this weekend... This turned out to be the perfect stopping point for the evening.

The restaurant is extremely clean and decorated nicely. The server was quick on her feet and got our orders to us while still hot. I had two eggs, sausage, cheese grits, and a waffle. Eggs were cooked right but I wasn't a fan of the sausage because it was much thinner than I've ever seen in a sausage patty but it did have a ton of flavor. I almost never eat cheese grits as I prefer them regular. Unfortunately, they only offered cheese grits. The waffle was the star. It was huge and perfectly cooked. Decent place but we'll stick to our regular breakfast spot.

I really try to give honest review on everything I do. This morning it was slow. We got there and were seated quickly in a crowded area of seating. Really strange how they have the tables and benches arranged. The server was fast to take our drinks and did a good job overall. He told us what was selling good after I asked his opinion on what to eat. The waffle came out first. Unfortunately it was cold and hard but it was tasty. Food kind of trickled out from then. Biscuits and gravy was really odd with the much parsley on it. The gravy wasn't good to me. Was not my cup of tea. The Monster meat bowl was good. The grits were outstanding! It was cooked really good so that's a plus. I think this place has a lot of potential to be a really good breakfast spot. Hope to give another review in a month to see.

--First catering review May 2026--…read more The quality of the story matches the quality of the food. We had Jaguar's Spot cater a group of students and their presence, presentation, and taste left a lasting impression. This is a family owned business that's a collective collaboration across three generations. The care put into the service and the setup was top tier. The time they took to answers questions and present themselves really allowed us to connect with their history and their contribution to food in this city/region. And then the food was exceptional. We actually had two meals catered, one comprised of veggies, ribs, and sausages. The other was a burger bar + ice cream. Both nights the meals were incredible with great flavor and balanced seasoning, very filling, and left our group wondering "can we have them cater again?" Thank you to the team and the family behind this operation. You have cultivated something very special. -- Review updated June 2026 -- Finally made it into the restaurant. They don't just talk a big catering game, but they bring in when you bring yourself too. The restaurant is located in Millbrook in a plaza that is welcoming and has plenty of parking. The inside is setup fully themed and set. They have weekly activities that get folks bonding, a table of games for entertainment in between wait times. They have a stage and setup for karaoke and even a duet if you desire. We were graced with a performance from one of the grand-daughters of establishment--what a tranquil and powerful voice. She even insured one of our students to get on stage. I also appreciate the accessibility addons-a level entrance and a restroom with a handle bar for assisted mobility while using the restroom.
